Broughton Astley, The Stream c.1967

More about this scene
The village has been given a sweeping bypass, Broughton Way, on its north side, reducing the volume of traffic negotiating Main Street and the area around St Mary's Church and Old Mill Road. The photograph looks south-east along the culverted stream bordering Station Road, with housing of the 1920s and 30s on the extreme right. It is a great pity that a little more money could not have been found in the Council's coffers to provide a scheme of enhancement, rather than this concrete and iron piping solution.
